In my experience this usually occurs when Progistics(Connectship Server) license has expired.
To confirm , you can go to the server where Progistics is installed and open Progistics Management Console -> Licensing
If the license has expired , the date of expiry is mentioned on this screen
Once renewed, the new License Id and Password will need to be loaded in the same 'Licensing' screen
